Food Review - Beer Mac and Cheese

Food Review - Beer Mac and Cheese

This was a recipe I found in one of my moms cooking recipes. It turned out very well.


The first thing you do is start the noodles, about 2 cups, and cook them like normal.  While those cook in a separate pot you cook two cloves of crushed garlic and 1/4 cup butter.  Once melted you add 1/4 cup flour, l tablespoon of grounded mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix till smooth blend in 2 1/2 cups milk, 3/4 cup beer, and 1/4 cup half and half.  cook till boiling and thick.  Once thick add 2 cups cheddar and 2 cups mozzarella. once cheese has melted add cooked noodles(make sure to drain water) put in greased casserole pan. Sprinkle 1 cup cheddar cheese and 3 table spoon Parmesan on top. Place in oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. and done.

Now that's how I made it the original want bacon on top, some fontina cheese, and Heavy whipping cream, but I had to improvise. I have to say both me and my mother enjoyed the recipe. I'd only recommend this though if you like beer. My mom said all she could taste was the garlic, while all I could taste was the beer. It was delicious though and I'd have to rate this a 6 out of 10. The only reason I rate it low, is because I probably won't make this again.

Hope you enjoyed it!!
